RAM DISK drive letter assignment
I am creating a RAM disk to store my browser cache files as to speed up the loading of web pages. The problem I am haveing is figuring out what drive letter to assign to it, here is a snipplet of the instructions I am folowing:
=====================
Create a new temporary directory on the RAM drive to store all browser cache/cookie files, by adding this line to your Autoexec.bat file (example):
MD D:\TEMP
presuming you have only 1 hard disk/partition and 1 CD-ROM drive. Change this letter if you have more drives to the next available letter AFTER the last letter taken by your hard disks/partitions, and BEFORE the CD-ROM drive letter.
DO NOT allow your browser to use the root directory on the RAM drive as its cache folder, because the RAMDRIVE.SYS root directory can ONLY hold up to 512 files, because it uses the obsolete FAT12 (used on floppy disks) as its default File System!
FYI: FAT16 also supports ONLY maximum 512 root entries, and newer FAT32 allows unlimited root entries.
====================
Ok I have a setup like this:
Pri Master partition 1: Windows, active, bootable, Fat32 C:\
Pri Master partition 2: FAT32 empty, E:\
Pri Slave partition 1:Primary partition, FAT32, D:\
Sec Master, CD-ROM, drive F:\
I am confused about what letter to assign my RAM disk. Any help would be apreciated,
